Upernavik

The Upernavik Archipelago and the waters of Baffin Bay define the setting of Upernavik — the town occupies a small island amid a far-flung chain of rocky islands, with sea ice shaping travel and the rhythm of the long Arctic year. In northwestern Greenland, it is an administrative centre for Avannaata Municipality and an important service point for nearby settlements. Fishing remains central to local life, while boats link the community with the surrounding coast during the open-water season. Upernavik Museum, housed in historic colonial-era buildings, presents Inuit life and the district’s past. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Upernavik and Avannaata.
